Chapter 957 Julien's Praise
Seeing him like this, Sydney could probably guess what Julien had said to praise her.
He must have said some cheesy words.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so emotional.
Even Sofia could tell that Julien was shy. Since Sydney had been with him for so long, she knew him better.
Julien had always been thick-skinned, and he used to say sweet words to her, but she had never seen him so embarrassed.
Therefore, she was really curious about what cheesy words he had used to describe her.
However, Julien made it clear that he wouldn't be honest with her. Even if Sydney kept staring at him, he was unwilling to turn his head.
He was afraid that she would force him to come clean as soon as he turned around.
Seeing that Julien refused to turn his head and face her, Sydney knew it was impossible to make him talk.
Sydney had no choice but to look at Sofia helplessly.
Sofia knew what she was disappointed about. She patted Sydney on the shoulder with a smile, told her not to worry, and then waved to her assistant.
While Sofia was talking with her assistant in Italian, Sydney didn't ignore Julien.
She obviously saw his slightly changed face, and he seemed to be nervous.
What was he nervous about?
Just as she was thinking, Sofia's assistant spoke, "Ms. Raines, Ms. Sofia asked me to translate for you."
The assistant was from the same country as Sydney and Julien. Although she was abroad all year round, she was proficient in English as a native speaker. When Sydney heard that the assistant would replace Julien as a translator, her eyes obviously lit up and she smiled gratefully. "That would be great, thank you." The assistant smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Then the assistant began to translate what Julien had said before.
Hearing Julien's mushy compliments on her, Sydney only felt goosebumps all over her body.
This was so embarrassing!
Julien had used almost all the beautiful words in the world to praise her.
She knew very well that these words had nothing to do with her.
She didn't even know that she was so good!
In a word, the real her had nothing in common with the one Julien had described.
'Didn't he feel embarrassed when using these exaggerated adjectives to describe me?' Sydney thought.
She was awkward anyway.
Sydney turned to look at Julien's increasingly red ear tips, and she asked, "Are you really not lying to Sofia? How can I be so good? The person you described is obviously not me." Although she was delighted that he could describe her like this, she felt embarrassed at the same time.
"I didn't lie to her!" Julien finally turned his head around and looked into her eyes seriously.
The assistant also translated their conversation for Sophia.
But at the moment, Sydney and Julien only cared about each other.
"Of course you lied to her. I have nothing to do with the woman you described!" Sydney rolled her eyes and her face turned red.
She didn't even dare to recall his words, or she would be overwhelmed with embarrassment.
"It's you." When Julien heard Sydney's words, he nodded without hesitation.
The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched slightly. "Are you sure? There is nothing in line with me at all."
"I know, but in my opinion, you are the most perfect woman in the world, and you deserve all the beautiful words." Julien looked at her and said sincerely.
Sydney's face turned redder. "You ..."
Sofia interrupted her before she finished speaking.
Sofia looked at Sydney with a smile. "Ms. Raines, please don't wrong Mr. Flint. Maybe you think he didn't describe you objectively, but you are the most special one to him. There is an old saying in your country
that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? For your beloved person, no matter what the real him is, you will think he is the most perfect man. I believe that you also think highly of Mr. Flint, right?" Hearing this, Sydney was speechless at once.
She looked at Julien and seemed to ask if Sofia had got him right.
Julien nodded, indicating that this was the case.
For him, she was the most perfect one in this world.
Sydney blushed as red as a rose with shyness.
Even if beauty was in the eye of the beholder, he must have exaggerated a lot.
But somehow she felt sweet inside.
"Ms. Raines, do you want to know what Mr. Flint said to me just now?" Sofia added smilingly.
Sofia's assistant immediately translated her words to Sydney.
Sydney looked at Julien, and then at Sofia. She nodded, indicating that she wanted to know. She was really curious about that.
Sofia didn't play up the suspense and soon told the conversation she had just had with Julien.
When Sydney heard the assistant say that Julien had compared her to the star he was chasing and the light in his life, her face became redder and her heart was pounding.
She had no idea that he would be so mushy.
She gave Julien a shy glance.
Julien gently coughed and turned away again.
Sofia said with a smile, "I've known Mr. Flint for several years, and he always appears to be nonchalant and unapproachable. It's the first time I've seen him show so many different moods and expressions. Ms. Raines, it's all your credit."
"My credit?" Sydney was slightly stunned.
Sofia nodded. "Yes, many indifferent people are dismissive of the world before they meet true love. When they have their beloved ones, they will become more compassionate, so I just said that Mr. Flint's huge change is because of you."
Sydney tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Ms. Sofia, you flattered me. I didn't do anything."
"You don't need to do anything. Your existence is the best meaning for Mr. Flint, and he will naturally change himself because of your existence," Sofia smiled and said. Sydney was even more embarrassed, and she fell silent.
She was afraid that if she said anything else, Sofia would praise her more exaggeratedly.
Julien also noticed her embarrassment. He coughed again and looked at Sofia. "Well, let's stop here and get down to business. Sofia, where's the evening gown?"
"Here it is." Sofia immediately lifted the bag in her hand and gave it to Sydney. "Ms. Raines, this is the evening gown that Mr. Flint asked me to design for you. Please have a look and tell me if you are satisfied with it."
"OK." Sydney took the bag with both hands. She then thought of something and glanced at Julien. "Where's your suit?"
Before Julien said something, Sofia had answered for him, "His suit hasn't been finished yet, but it won't take long. Ms. Raines, please try yours first and tell me if there is anything that needs to be modified. After all, the modification of a lady's dress is more complicated than that of a man, so I made your evening gown first."
"I see." Sydney nodded and said nothing more.
After she sat down, she opened the bag and took out the gift box from it.
There was no ribbon on the gift box, so Sydney easily lifted the lid of the box, revealing the flaming-red evening gown inside.
The gown was retro-styled with wide suspenders and V-neck. It was A-line shaped with a flounce around the hem.
It looked both sexy and playful, and Sydney fell in love with it at a glance.
